Replacing a Ford Kuga or C-Max Leather Gear lever Gaiter

Changing a 2008-2012 Ford Kuga leather gear lever gaiter
(also applies to C-Max 2008-2010). The Ford Finis Code is 1639784. You can buy cheaper generic ones, but you'll have to reuse the plastic frame and re-fix with staples and reattach the gear knob collar.

8 years later and I've just used this video. Would never have know what to do. Thanks

Very well explained. Thankyou

Nicely presented.. just FYI (& others) there are actually Different C-Max Covers - the one you mention (part number 1639784) suitable for C-Max 2008, has the plastic clip underneath & removable Gearknob. The other is Part number(s) 1639781/1639782 where there's no Clip or Spring underneath & the whole gearknob / cover comes off in one go - but it's STILL for C-Max 2008 models.

What's that blue skin? It looks real decent.

[@MrHugaKuga]

It's standard trim on the lower spec mk1 Kuga's. Options are blue or orange, I think the titanium spec Kugas are gloss grey.

My kuga has 115000km on the odometer and now gaitor nr3 is broken..what a shitty part!! I'm trying ebay leather this time.

[@MrHugaKuga]

You can buy alternatives, but you may have to use the frame from the original part to attach the leather to (the bit with staples?) I have seen it done. My gaitor was cracked when I got the Kuga at ~20k miles, I actually superglued it for a couple of years before just replacing it with a Ford part off t'internet ...
